Lice on cattle
clearance of all lice may take 4 - 5 weeks during which time lice hatch from the
eggs and are killed. A very few lice may survive on a small minority of animals.
Therefore, it may be necessary on rare occasions to re-treat an animal 6 - 8
weeks later.

treatment will depend on the numbers and species of flies present. Where
horn-flies predominate, good control can be expected for 4 - 8 weeks.
Treatment for fly control should not be repeated within four weeks.
Ticks on sheep:
control of ticks attaching to animals of all ages, for up to 6 weeks after
treatment.
Keds and lice on sheep:
in short or long fleece will reduce the incidence of a biting louse or ked
infestation over a 4 - 6 week period after treatment.
N.B. For control of ticks, keds and lice on sheep, the fleece should be parted
and Spot On applied to the skin of the animal.
When using the Dectospot applicator application to the skin can be achieved by
inserting the T bar to separate the fleece and penetrate down to the skin level
before squeezing the applicator handle.
Established blowfly strike on sheep:
as soon as the fly strike is seen. One application will ensure blowfly larvae are
killed in a short time. In the case of more advanced strike lesions, clipping out
of stained wool before treatment is advisable.
Lice and ticks on lambs: Application to the mid-point of the shoulders will
provide useful control of ticks for up to 6 weeks after treatment, and will reduce
the incidence of biting lice over a 4-6 week period after treatment.
